Weezer, next year?

a new album "out in the first half of 2008", oh well...

from weezer.com:

...folks - here's a message from Rivers...

"Hey Party-People,

Weezer is just polishing up a batch of songs for a recording session that is going to start at the beginning of July. This will be the final recording session for our 6th album which we aim to put out in the first half of 2008. We hope you are all having good times.

Re: Weezer, next year?

Damn, I have seen them 4 times and I have to say that they can certainly be off their mark for performances but when they do get things right it can be absolutely amazing.

Geez, they're are some harsh critics here, the Blue album/Pinkerton will always be Weezer at the top of their game but the Green album was just as enjoyable. Malandroit was quite a dissapointment....can't even remember the last time I played that album since the year it came out.

Make Believe was a worthy effort and I didn't enjoy at first but has come to be a favorite of mine, definetly an album that you grow to enjoy after a few listens.

Re: Weezer, next year?

I would love to see Weezer live. I have heard mixed reviews. No one I have ever talked to said a Weezer show was, ok. It either sucked and was boring, or was awesome and incredibly fun.
I heard a report on the radio a few months ago Weezer broke up. I guess that is not that case.

Weezer wouldnt be the worst choice, but it would be waaay too soon to put em back on the Coachella stage. They wont go any higher than 3rd on the bill anyway, just like Air. The Inland Invasion performance was one of my fave times seeing them. Also on their co headliner with Foo Fighters, I saw them in Oakland and they killed it, it was the last show of the tour so some pinkerton stuff was thrown in there, I loved it.

Re: Weezer, next year?

Weezer is dead to me.

Blue and Pinkerton are two of my favorite albums ever, but Make Believe completely ruined them. Even if they still play "Say It Ain't So" at every show, having to hear "Beverly Hills" along with it ruins the whole show.

Re: Weezer, next year?

I saw Weezer in '97 when Matt Sharp was still in the band, and at a small club to boot, and it was an excellent show. After he left the band, it seemed like part of the fun of the band left with him. Their only great single from the past three albums has been "Keep Fishin'." I don't think Weezer sucks, I am just kinda luke-warm about them, and this is coming from someone who bought Pinkerton the day it came out.

Not to say it could not happen, but hasn't Weezer played Coachella twice already?

Re: Weezer, next year?

Doesn't Weezer use a computer to create a random set list for every show? I'm sure they throw their new singles and Say It Ain't So on every show, but I read that somewhere. Lame, although I love them.
